Fire Emblem Fates 3DS Bundle Blunder

Yesterday, Nintendo announced that a special edition New3DS XL was planned to release alongside Fire Emblem Fates on February 19th of this year. The price for the specially designed new3Ds is $200 and doesn’t include either of the Fates games or a charger.

Yeah, just the system. Not even a digital preinstall for the themed system.

But hey, if you really want, you can get the new system and both games bundled together for just $280 dollars.

The pricing method for Fire Emblem Fates is just getting a little out of hand. I wasn’t a fan of the game split pricings or the extremely rare special edition of the game, essentially being what the game should have been in the first place, and not having any version of the game preinstalled just blows. I really hope this doesn’t become a trend for the series.
